They don't. It's a political thing. The political correct thing to do. These people have a strange way of thinking. They clap at your address then stab you in the back when you turn around.

Protocol requires a standing ovation to the U.S. President's State of the Nation Address. Many Republicans probably didn't agree with everything the President said; but, they stood, didn't they? There were Independents and other political entities in the audience. Did you notice any of them not standing?





Personally, I don't stand and applaud a person I don't agree with. That's probably why I have lost several jobs!
When they stood it was to applaud the idea he presented, not so much the person presenting it.
